"If you want to pick up stones, you can't do it here, there used to be here, but now it's been picked up. ”

Brother Zhao motioned to Kowloon not to worry.

"Why are you so verbose, just say where to pick it up. ”

Kowloon is impatient.

"Said that the near point is in the LH District of Nanjing, 60 kilometers of road, the far point is Yuetang Town, YZ City, at least there are 90 kilometers, it is very troublesome to take a car, I think forget it. ”

Brother Zhao looked quite reluctant.

"You hooked me with slander, what is sixty kilometers, let's fight!"

Kowloon decided on this sex, and the nine cows couldn't pull it back.

"Okay, okay, I'll surrender, I'm unlucky to meet you. ”

Although Brother Zhao said so, he had already raised his legs and walked out, he first bought something at a convenience store, put it in his camouflage travel bag casually, and then raised his hand to greet the taxi.

Soon, the taxi arrived, and when I asked for the price, more than 150 yuan, Kowloon didn't say a word, and the money was stuffed over.

On the way, Brother Zhao's face was full of unhappiness: "I tell you, it is not cost-effective to go to Liuhe to pick up stones, not to mention the round-trip fee, you are to the destination, and you may not necessarily pick up good things, now the origin resources are exhausted, it is difficult to pick up decent treasures, I have been here a few times, tired and tired, and only found a few general products, it is better to go to Chaotian Palace antique market Taobao, but there will often be harvest." ”

"Is it because of your bad luck, but I'm different, don't be envious when you find a treasure when the time comes. Kowloon was not convinced, "Besides, I haven't even been to the place of origin, will I be willing?"

"Young man, this is called not shedding tears if you don't see the coffin, so let's wait and see. ”

Brother Zhao couldn't help but count the nine dragons, as if he was old.

"You just shake your mouth, I don't fight with you, it's a donkey or a horse to come out for a walk, master, is it almost there?"

Kowloon sat in the back seat and asked the taxi driver.

"It's not far ahead, look at your appearance, you're here to pick up stones, it's not easy to call a taxi in the gold sand field here, do you need me to pick you up when you come back?" the driver replied.

This is a good idea, Kowloon left the driver's contact number, and as soon as he arrived at the destination, he couldn't wait to run to the sand field.

"Wait!" Brother Zhao shouted, "When is this, aren't you hungry? ”

"Where are the restaurants here?"

Kowloon looks far away, it is desolate, where is the place to eat?

Brother Zhao took out dry food from his travel bag, all bread, mineral water and the like, it turned out that when he got in the car, Brother Zhao went to buy this, he was careful enough.

Kowloon was pleasantly surprised, Brother Zhao is Brother Zhao, thoughtful, and learn a little in the future.

Jiulong took the bread and mineral water handed over by Brother Zhao, and walked towards a small hill while eating.

This is a small hill called Tumen Gold Placer Mine, thanks to Brother Zhao, otherwise the road is muddy, and it is really difficult to find a place where you can't even navigate.

Kowloon first saw a few stone mountains composed of pebbles, and began to climb excitedly, constantly looking for them.

Brother Zhao was much calmer, he first observed the terrain, and saw that the hook machine was pushing the stone mountain, so he walked directly to the newly piled stone mountain.

This time I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring a shovel or anything like that, Jiulong had to pick it up with his hand, and the stones that had just been transported from the mining area were surrounded by mud, and he couldn't see the color, so he could only wash them in the river water under the mountain, and identify, Jiulong came to pick it up for the first time, and looked at a lot of pebbles-like things, and his head was big.

I can't tell whether it's agate or quartz, so I just need to look pretty, and then pick it up.

After a while, Jiulong picked up a lot, he felt that they were all treasures, and he was very proud to pack them in plastic bags.

Brother Zhao picked up for two hours, but he only picked up less than five, he was picking up and throwing at the same time, shaking his head constantly, and he didn't seem satisfied.

"Brother Zhao, come and give me a palm. ”

Jiulong was really tired of picking it up, and sat on the ground with his butt, beside him, two bags full of stones.

Brother Zhao came over and opened the bag, flipped through it a few times, and kept shaking his head: "Most of the pebbles you picked up are waste, and a few are agate, but the agate texture is messy, and you can't see anything, and it's also a common product, so you threw it away." ”

When Jiulong heard this, he couldn't help but be disappointed, he had worked hard and done it in vain, he was unwilling to throw it all away, so he took away a few of them with agate patterns, which was also a souvenir.

"Show me yours. ”

Jiulong snatched the contents of Brother Zhao's bag.

"These few of mine are also very ordinary, they seem to be like non-similar, and I can't see any theme, so you can give them to you, or you can study them as specimens. ”

Brother Zhao said generously.

Jiulong took a closer look, whether it was texture or color, it was much better than picking it up himself, and he was not polite and accepted it.

"Let's go, there are a lot of rain stone processing factories in this area, I'll take you to see it, maybe there will be a harvest." ”

After Brother Zhao finished speaking, he got up and left.

When they arrived at a processing plant, the two of them entered, and everywhere there was the harsh sound of grinding and cutting by the grinder, and some people were polishing on the polishing machine.

The people here don't speak Mandarin, and it is more difficult to communicate, but they can understand what Jiulong said, Jiulong asked a village woman if there is a rain flower stone here, she smiled: "How can there be a real rain flower stone, we are here to polish and polish the stone, most of the pebbles are made out, there is a little agate stone." ”

"I just want agate, can you take me to see it. ”

As soon as Kowloon heard that there was, he immediately became excited.

The village woman took Jiulong and the two into the office, Brother Zhao glanced at it and shook his head, although it is beautiful here, it is all polished, there is no characteristic, this village woman knows that she has met an expert, so she secretly whispered a few words to Brother Zhao, saying that she has what they like at home, but now it is time to work, and she can't leave.

Kowloon saw that he had seized the opportunity, so he could easily miss it: "Sister, it's not easy for us to come all the way, you can do it well and fulfill us." ”

When the village woman heard someone call her eldest sister, she was happy, but she was still hesitating.

"Is it good for the eldest sister to be like this, if we like it, it doesn't matter if the price is more expensive. ”

Kowloon has added another weight.

When this came to the point, the village woman immediately put down her work, secretly took them to her house, and took out all the stones she had hidden.

Brother Zhao squatted down and picked one by one very seriously, Jiulong glanced at it quickly, his eyes stayed on a rain flower stone, and the figure of Sun Wukong appeared in his mind, isn't this it?

He quickly moved down, took it in his hand, and studied it carefully.

This rain flower stone is not big, about six centimeters or so, oval, golden background, on the smooth and delicate stone surface, by the white block-like distribution, these blocks, appeared eyes, nose, pointed mouth, hair and body shape, a make-do, live is Wukong reproduction, this Wukong's image Jiulong is really too familiar, every summer vacation can see his figure on TV.

Jiulong was ecstatic, but he didn't dare to show it, for fear that the village woman would also find out that it was Sun Wukong, and she would slaughter it, he quietly handed this picture to Brother Zhao to take a look, and Brother Zhao saw it, and immediately his eyes straightened: "You kid is too ......"

Jiulong knew what Brother Zhao wanted to say, so he hurriedly "shh

Kowloon was interested, turned over bag after bag, and then didn't find what he liked, he chose a few with agate patterns, which is an explanation to the village woman, or the village woman worked hard to take you home, but you only bought one, and you will feel unhappy.

Of course, at this time, his mind was full of Sun Wukong, and that feeling was more exciting than earning tens of thousands of yuan a year.

It turns out that happiness is so simple.

He has always felt incredible, he dreamed last night, and he got it today, he was wondering if he had accumulated virtue in his previous life, and even God helped him.

Brother Zhao was not affected too much, and was still choosing carefully.

He found a peculiar rain flower stone, which seemed to be different from the common rain flower stone.

He took it in his hand and looked left and right, this rain flower stone is very beautiful, there is no texture, it is white, pink, red concentric ring-like halo transition, showing a strange hazy beauty.

Jiulong's eyes were straight, how could there be such a strange stone?

"This is called rain flower stone opal, it is a kind of watery silica, condensed, the opal looks like a halo, the opal in the gemstone, have you ever seen it?"

Brother Zhao raised his head and asked.

Kowloon shook his head, he had just come into contact with stones, so he didn't know what an opal was.

"Let's put it this way, opals have a color-changing effect, and the difference between opal and opal is that opals don't have a color-changing effect. ”

Brother Zhao replied simply.

Jiulong seems to understand: "You just say how to play this opal rain flower stone." ”

"Yuhua stone opal in the process of playing is the most important is the" rhyme ", the "rhyme" here refers to its unique color of the excess, the folk language is called "you color", this is a very vivid description of the egg white, it slowly moistens from thick to light, almost can not find the dividing line between shades and colors.

"'Wandering' also means wandering.

"The color in opal is also very rich, there are various color systems, the common ones are blue, white, and yellow series, and the rare ones are red, blue, purple, green, and black.

"No matter what kind of color it is, it can't be 'dry', and it is required to be 'moist'.

"There are no cracks in the stone, and it is better to have more than three colors.

"The finer the texture, the better, and the best will be like hard-boiled egg white, as tender as a baby's skin, understand?"

Brother Zhao spoke bitterly, worthy of being a buddy, and spoke very carefully.

Kowloon nodded, now he understands a little.

Soon, Yuhuashi was chosen, and the two of Kowloon stood up.

Brother Zhao has four here, plus six in Jiulongtao, and the village woman asked them to pay 150 yuan, and Jiulong felt that it was worth it, so he immediately handed over the ticket.

Brother Zhao waved his hand and handed over sixty yuan: "I don't need you to pay my own, and my brother will have to settle accounts in the future." ”

On the way back, I still contacted the original taxi driver, laughing and laughing all the way, and won the first battle in Kowloon, not to mention how beautiful it was.
